How to fix vscode icon in numix icon circle theme?

Here's a one liner that will achieve what these guys are saying for you. I've aliased this in bash because I have to execute this every FREAKING time vscode updates...

sudo sed -i "s/Icon=code/Icon=vscode/g" /usr/share/applications/code.desktop

Looks like that the Numix team has provided an alternative icon with the name of vscode.desktop, in order to fix it we need to:

1. Copy and rename the default code.desktop to the local user directory:

cp /usr/share/applications/code.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/vscode.desktop

2. Edit the new vscode.desktop and rename all Icon properties from Icon=code to Icon=vscode.

The result should be something like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Visual Studio Code
Comment=Code Editing. Redefined.
GenericName=Text Editor
Exec=/usr/share/code/code --unity-launch %U
Icon=vscode
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=Code
Categories=Utility;TextEditor;Development;IDE;
MimeType=text/plain;inode/directory;
Actions=new-window;
Keywords=vscode;

X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.22

[Desktop Action new-window]
Name=New Window
Name[de]=Neues Fenster
Name[es]=Nueva ventana
Name[fr]=Nouvelle fenêtre
Name[it]=Nuova finestra
Name[ja]=新規ウインドウ
Name[ko]=새 창
Name[ru]=Новое окно
Name[zh_CN]=新建窗口
Name[zh_TW]=開新視窗
Exec=/usr/share/code/code --new-window %U
Icon=vscode

3. Restart the session to apply the new icon.
